One of my breeding pairs just laid her first egg, and I'm worried about the shape of the egg. Here's a picture of it:

 

It is very pointy, compared to this other pair's eggs, which are normal and look like this:

 

Would the shape stop a chick from developing or hatching alright? Or would it be okay? Also, does this mean that this is her first clutch, as I've heard of birds laying weird eggs for their first ever clutch. (I got her as an adult, so I don't know if she's bred before.)

Perfectly fine.

I agree with Dean - your egg is perfect.

 

I will try to get a photo later today of a strange shaped egg. It is a small spherical ball - like a marble but smaller.

Okay so is it just that eggs differ between hens, and hers are more pointed than my other girls' eggs?

its completly fine congradulations by the way on the eggs x x
